Newsletter: Nov. 28

COMING UP
Wyclef Jean, a big music sale, anonymous vintage photos, and more. Wouldn’t it be great to have a wall of photos like the one at left, all of people pointing a camera at you? It’d be like a perpetual paparazzi attack.

••• 11/27: Frackfest, a.k.a. a chances to experience the hydrofracking debate in person. Plus: Body found in the water off Battery Park City; fitness trainer Oscar Smith; top doorman; Small Business Saturday; one-bedroom rentals; Seaport Museum head.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
Since it’s been a slow weekend around here, I’ll take this opportunity to remind everyone how helpful it is if you forward this newsletter to anyone you know who might enjoy it. Here’s some text you can add at the top: “The best way to keep up with what’s happening below Canal Street is to subscribe to this newsletter. Just go to tribecacitizen.com and look for ‘Subscribe’ in the upper right corner. Or else.”

Ten sales were reported in the past two weeks—including two units in the Skylofts building.

“What are those small black pellets in the athletic field at Pier 25? They’re kind of the size of Grape-Nuts cereal, or maybe Pop Rocks.” —U. Now we know.

SEEN & HEARD
